Removing Lh mirror from 2003 grand caravan es AWD

Mirror is broken off of vehicle. wiring is still in tact, motors, dimmer everything still works. I have disassembled it and can not figure out how to get the glass out of the assembly to remove the wiring. I can't remove the wiring from the vehicle side because the is no "connection" showing. The wires tuck in through the qtr panel and behind the dash. How do I remove the assembly or disconnect the wires from the "mirror side" to be able to repair it?

the door has nothing to do with the mirror on the 2003 grand caravan es awd. It may on others but not on this one! The mirror if attached properly is mouted just in front of the door on the lower side of the windshield strut and the very top, rear part of the qtr. panel. I have gotten all of the bolts off and the mirror is now free and dangling only by the wiring. Of which is connected inside the mirror assembly(head), and then finds it's way into the qtr panel through a hole a lil bigger than a quarter. from there it looks to worm it's way in behind the dash. How do I disconnect the wiring?

I work at a Chrysler dealer, so on Monday I will double check on a car on the lot and get a better idea from one of my techs. By the way I sell parts not cars. Keep in touch and I will help you to the best that I can.I work at a Chrysler dealer, so on Monday I will double check on a car on the lot and get a better idea from one of my techs.

Ok I found a few on my lot and asked a few techs. First remove the outer piece where the mirror swivels, this looks like a triangle but on the outside. Now here is the fun part, The A-pillar panel needs to be removed from the inside. This panel is only held on by plastic clips, no screws from what I saw. Pull this off and you should see 3 screws or bolts with nuts that go to the mirror. After removing these 3 the mirror should be able to pull away from the vehicle showing you the wire which is when you need to detach the wires and replace the mirror. Here ya go, have fun.

Be very careful removing the mirror from the mirror head (there's a 90% chance it will break). Instead remove the mirror head from the vehicle. remove the door panel. you will see 3 nuts that hold the mirror head on the van. (may have to poke around to find them, behind some foam maybe). the electrical conection you are looking for is in the door follow the wires you'll find it. NOTE: most mirror heads are not ment to be taken apart and fixed but instead the whole mirror head replaced.

The mirror has bolts made to the encapsulation of the mirror housing. Directly behind the mirror, remove the inner door panel. The mirror is fastened to the door with 10 mm nuts, unplug the electrical supply and replace with new mirror (or salvage is usually just as good - even better than some aftermarket parts).

you can try ebay or go to a salvage yard if they don't have it then they can go thru the national locator and find one for you. Also you can go to an autoparts store, you will still pay alot if it's available but it won't be as much as a dealers price. Good luck.

If your Air Bag Light is on and the Horn Doesn't work, then the Clock Spring behind your steering wheel is bad. Call the dealership and give them your Vin Number and ask them if it is covered under a recall, some vehicles where some were not. Its worth a try.
